@charann2000 - The optometrist can code it with GCA and Medicare will cover the eye exam. I am not paying for any of my visits. Just tell them when you call in that the ENT has told you that you have GCA and you need an eye exam. I think that makes sense to stay with the Aurora Network. Have a nice Mother’s Day. You are right that stress just makes the GCA worse. The key to any visits to any doctor is the code.
